      <h2>2.1: Position vs OuterPosition&nbsp;<a href="User guide2.html"><img src="Images/uparrow.png" border="0" align="top" alt="Go back up one level"/></a></h2>
      
            <p>Typically one
                would position some axes using their "OuterPosition" so that the axis labels, title
                and other annotations are all contained within the specified area. Sometimes,
                particularly if drawing images, one might want to instead make the axes
                canvas (the white bit!) fill the specified area. This is done by setting
                the "Position" property instead.
